What does 'giving up the ghost' mean in reference to Christ?

Answered in 1 source

'Giving up the ghost' refers to the moment of Christ's death, indicating His voluntary surrender of life in fulfillment of His mission.

'Giving up the ghost,' as noted in Mark 15:37, signifies the moment Christ voluntarily laid down His life. This act was not merely the end of a physical life but the fulfillment of His sacrificial role as our substitute and redeemer. Unlike a mere fainting or unconscious state, His death was deliberate, according to the will of God, ensuring complete atonement for the sins of His people. It affirms that His death was the culmination of God's predetermined plan for salvation.
